This is laughable. Proration of higher education is now, and has ALWAYS been the first thing cut when the legislature needs some extra dollars. It has nothing to do with enrollment. Alabama and Auburn are only nominally state funded institutions these days.
Dumbass, are you arguing what I said that the Legislature isn't going to increase funding because the Universities want to grow ? The Legislature has increased funding everywhere except higher education. It has been at a level funding the last few years. They did claim they couldn't increase funding because of the popularity of a Veterans Scholarship Program, so the cut that program. If you talk to any of them, they will tell you that they fund the Universities at a level to educate the children of Alabama (with help of In state tuition), but it falls short when the schools have to spread it over 30K+ Students. Hard to argue with that.

That's absolute bullshite. Almost every other dollar in state revenues is constitutionally earmarked. They can't move money from other places to HE. They can, however, take away, and they frequently do.

They slashed funding about 10 years ago, which is when UA embarked on this mission to attract OOS students. Also, the taxpayers of Alabama do not fund UA's expansion if state funding stays level.
UA's student population has doubled in the past 10 years, and taxpayers have had very little to do with that.
